Sightseeing
This is, in the opinion of many (and myself), the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica. White sand and clear blue water in a small tropical setting. Visits from capuchin monkeys, coatis, and raccoons are common.

Playa Blanca

Playa Mantas is next to Playa Blanca and is also a beautiful beach. This beach is more accessible to the public if you are not staying in Altos de Leonamar. But during low tide, you can use this beach to climb over the small point to go to Playa Blanca. Just don't get stuck at Playa Blanca at high tide!

Playa Agujas is near Punta Leona and you can park your car on the beach. It is a black sand rocky beach and is great for watching sunsets!

Isla Tortuga
This is a wonderful tour that goes to Tortuga Island, about 45 minutes by boat, and includes drinks, lunch, and other activities on an island with clear blue water and white sand. I can arrange both private and public charters for this tour.
